The Challenge! Holiday style!

Why, hello there fellow wish-I-was-skinnier-but-can't-seem-to-put-this-cookie-down-girl friend! (Sorry, no men allowed!) I'm so glad you're here, joining me in this friendly competition of shedding some major poundage!  Not sure how you clicked here, whether you know me personally or you know someone I know; however it happened-doesn't matter, you're here and you're considering the challenge! That's the first step!  Check off one small victory for you! Yeah!  Anywho, here's how fat is going down.

First off, you have to pay to play.  I mean, there has to be some type of motivation, right??  (Other than, of course, looking better, feeling better, blah, blah, blah.)  I'm not sure how many people will be playing as of yet, but, there is potential for a pretty decent payout for the winner!  The cost per player is $14, that's one dollar per week people, quit griping!  The $14 is non-refundable to prevent drop-outs!  I won't have it! 

The challenge starts October 1st.  That's right around the corner, so you better get your laziness out right now-be a couch potato, eat some bad stuff, whatever it is that is holding you back has to stop in just 22 days!  October 1st is a Saturday, which is a perfect day to start with a weigh-in.  That's how I like to start my weekends off-depressing myself with the scale!  Really, it won't be bad, just know, you'll never have to weigh that ever again! Yippee!!  We will weigh in every Saturday morning-naked, of course!  I don't know about you but I wear sweats to bed (much to my husband's dismay)...I swear they weigh like, 15 pounds, at least-we can't have that added on-yikes!  You will have to report your weight to me, but only me.  I will not disclose it to anyone else, I promise.  Now folks, since we are spread out everywhere (I mean location-wise, geez), we are going to have to be an honest group.  I was thinking about having you take a picture of your feet on the scale and sending it to me every week, but I know the integrity of the group is better than that.  So, you know, just don't lie-nobody wins like that and no one will like you anymore either!

The last weigh-in will be December 31st and the winner will be announced January 1st! Happy New Year to all of us because we will all be Skinny Minnies-but one lucky, hot, chica will be rich, I tell ya!  Hard work pays off! And, doesn't that sound great not to have a New Year's resolution of weight loss!  The winner will be determined not by pounds lost, but actually, by percentage of weight lost-just like the show, gals.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot the kicker!  If you gain weight at the weekly weigh-in, that'll cost ya-$2!  Stay the same? $1.  Lose, and you're off scotch free-go buy yourself a...water...because that's all you can have!

Ok, so you need to let me know if you're in or out.  Leave a comment here to declare acceptance of this challenge!  I'm super excited to get this underway!  And, just a small disclosure: I'm not only the president of The Soon-To-Be Skinny Minnies, I'm also a player-and I'm bringing it!! (Which means-I'm competing for the moolah too, yo!)

More to come, bookmark this site!  I plan on posting results here as well as recipes and other great tidbits along the way!
